Buying and selling property

Honestly the most stressful and worse experience using any type of ‘professional’ body. Lack of communication, forever chasing for answers to queries. You’ll be passed from person to person throughout the sale or purchase and nothing carries over. Everything will you be you as the customers fault. Paper work ‘missing’ after handing into office and getting a receipt. Everything is left until the very last minute. Over priced paying for a platinum service when you’re barely getting a tin can service. Avoid at all costs.

Could not thank Alex and the team at Lyons Bowe enough for their help with our house purchase. Nothing was ever too much to ask and as a first time buyer assisted in making things understandable for us.

Updated Wills

We've had a bad experience with a company that specialised in will writing. We wanted nothing more to do with them and we were left out of pocket. We then heard about will aid & discovered that Lyons Bowe were participants. They have been fantastic and we are now relieved to have our Wills updated to reflect our current family position.

Started well but it's been terrible since being passed to the completion team. They have not returned my many calls despite voicemails left and are slow to answer urgent emails. There have also been several errors in paperwork we were sent. When pointed out they failed to check the error hasn't been replicated on documents sent to us or the copies sent to other parties.

About this branch

Description

When we set up Lyons Bowe in 2014, we were driven by a mix of frustration and desire. Frustration at the number of firms that didn’t share the values that we felt were most important and our desire to give clients the kind of service that you told us you wanted. Our core values underpin our entire service and lie at the heart of everything we offer. As a modern law firm, we pride ourselves on representing these core values – both in what we do and how we do it.
